Electric windows (they're a pane). From my limited experience (two Terranos over 6 yrs) I think that the window motors are only just powerful enough to cope providing the sliders are kept well lubricated with slippery silicon. Whenever I have had window or sunroof malfunctions I have always...

Royal ranks. Heard some comment on TV about Harry being promoted to Captain and that William would therefore have to salute him and call him SIR. Not in my book :augie William is a Flt LT . These ranks ;army / royal air force are equal. Now IF Harry were to be a Captain RN that would be...

Have removed third row of seats (seldom used lately ) and sorted tyre pressures out. :) Seems to be doing some good. Reduced weight and rolling friction have got me slightly up above 400 miles/fillup. Shall be looking closely at a K&N filter. Bit expensive though. Have noticed some cheap...

GPM rather than MPG My intercooled auto R20 mpg is a secret. If my Wife knew the truth she would raffle it off. Actually ,I reckon it does about 350 miles on 80 litres in winter . Is that good , bad or average ?

Advice :( After being tugged for no L plates on my motorbike---many years ago ---- guilty-----£2.00 fine (big money then; especially for an apprentice)---my sympathetic Dad said; " Never mind; just remember that for every door that closes, another one shuts". Not exactly advice, but it made...

Gauges. Fitted voltmeter, vacuum gauge and boost guage in a triple pod to A pillar on drivers side. Nice to see what's happening (or not )under the bonnet.-- :augie Could be a distraction at first but soon get over the novelty and then find them reassuring about turbo, alternator and vacuum...

Anyone else notice the caliper brakes on the back wheel ????:sly:sly:sly

T20 Bad behavior !!! Hi Centurion Have read through this thread and it all sounds very much like "wot I had" about 6 months ago. Eventual remedy was a new Crank Position Sensor. :augie ££££££. Hope yours turns out to be less expensive. New sensor cured all ills. Fault was picked up by...

Sorry about confusing description. I did mean with overdrive button in and yellow dash light out. Mileage is now 72k. Glad to say that, since ambient temp has risen, all is working well. Don't know exact history of usage but auto box oil does not look cooked. Thanks for your interest and...

Fantastic; Love it ! Happy Christmas Everyone. :clap :clap :clap

Monday Early morning start out, B----cold. Motor fired up OK but had to pile on the revs to get moving. All seemed very sluggish in the transmission department, would't go into overdrive at any price. 4k revs and still only doing 55ish. Acceleration (usually meteoric) was rubbish. Wife said...

Carrot puree anyone ? Did the carrot test on mine with engine warmed up :doh. Might try it again with cool engine sometime after I've cleaned all the splattered carrot out of the engine bay. Mrs had a laugh at my "orange" complexion :cool: Heater gets warm OK but temp gauge never rises more...

That's a cracker :clap:clap:clap Fell off me chair :thumbs

Two days ago I contacted Kwikfit by internet and they identified my battery from my reg no . Ordered it from local branch, one hour later all fitted,no problem. Cost was within a couple of quid of other suppliers. 3 year guarantee. 11% discount for ordering on line. Chuffed :clap

Can't imagine your proposed mod being possible. The system is specially designed to operate as a two stage function. Any alterations to operating sequence would, IMHO, require some pretty complex rejigging. Wiring diagram looks like spaghetti junction :( However----never say never etc.

DITTO My wifes' 8 yr old car still had original battery but it was becoming sluggish so I treated it to a new one yesterday. Just about same price as yours and lots of CC amps; fantastic difference. Should have heard what she said when I told her it was her Christmas present. :doh:doh:doh...

Magic Took the instrument pod out last week to fix faulty lights. Did nothing to any guages ----BUT----- the instruments quoted above have worked perfectly since putting panel back. :nenau

My 2002 Terrano is an auto and I've had it two years. When I first got it there were no dasboard indicator lights to show when overdrive was not engaged , nor to show auto box oil temp warning. Just thought it would be fuffed bulbs. Overdrive works OK and gearbox doesn't get hot , so I've never...

When I aquired my Terrano for tough country lane jobs and to accomodate grandchildren in seats 6 & 7, my wife took over my coveted Rover tourer. It is now 8 yrs old and had the usual parking and bumper dings. Quotes from body shops to smarten the old girl (car) up ranged around the 350 --- 450...

Didn't live with it for long. Had two scarey stoppages in country lanes at night:augie Soon got new sensor and fitted it. Seems to run much better in all modes now. Gave it a thrashing on motorway; everything good and warm---no problems---seems to be fixed---fingers crossed:thumb :thumb2 Thanks...
